The objective of this experiment is to carry out closed loop control using an on/off controller to open and close three solenoid valves and activate pump 2 with a proportional integral controller. The apparatus includes a UCP-L control interface, control software, and water. Graphs show the response of the proportional integral controller at different gain levels, with a higher gain resulting in greater oscillation. Integral control is described as causing a system to continuously increase or decrease the controlled variable without reaching a new equilibrium. An example is given of liquid level in a tank, which will rise or fall until limited by overflow or emptying.

The objective of this practice is to carry out a closed loop control by an
on/off controller by the closing and opening of the A VS-I, AVS-2, AVS-3 solenoid valves and the activation of pump 2 using proportional integral controller.

Procedure:
Connect the interface of the equipment and the control software
Select the control on/off option Make a double click on the on/off control, select the flow wanted. there are a certain flow, a tolerance and a performance time set by default. It allows the students to play with these parameters and see the influences of each one The level control can be carried out by the activation of a single actuator, or of several ones, to which different tolerances are allowed. These controllers work as security system measures when the controlled variable exceeds in a tolerance the set value. To activate or to disable any of these controllers you may have to double click on each of them and press the button "PAUSE"
Calculate the inertia of the system for an on/off response and determine the limit time for an exact control

T he following graph is obtained when we set the gain upto 0.005
If we increase the gain upto 0.05 then

I Controller Integral controlled systems are systems without self-regulation: if the manipulated variable does not equal zero, the integral controlled system responds with a continuous change continuous increase or decrease of the controlled variable. A new equilibrium is not reached.
Liquid level in a tank
In a tank with an outlet and equally high supply and discharge flow rates, a constant liquid level is reached. If the supply or discharge flow rate changes, the liquid level will rise or fall. The level changes the quicker, the larger the difference between supply and discharge flow. This example shows that the use of integral control action is mostly limited in practice. The controlled variable increases or decreases only until it reaches a system-related limit value: the tank will overflow or be discharged, maximum or minimum system pressure is reached, etc.
